Five on Friday {Christmas Edition Part II}

Merry {almost} Christmas!!! To celebrate the 5 day countdown, I have decided on a part two Christmas edition for my five today!

– ONE – This week I baked some cinnamon bread in mini bread dishes
{$1 at Michaels} for a few Christmas gifts. I love how they turned out. Depending on how much time I have to prepare the loaves, I’ll either use the {Easy Cinnamon Bread recipe} or {Cinnamon Crumb Cake Mix}.

– TWO – The easiest Christmas tree appetizer ever. Just slice a block of cream cheese diagonally, stick together and drizzle jam or pepper jelly on top. Garnish with a green pepper star and green onion stump and serve with crackers!

– THREE – I received the most adorable gift from my friend Laura this week! Shearling Darling has been my favorite Essie color this season for our regular mani/pedi dates so I was so happy to finally own a bottle of this gorgeous color. And the mug! Oh my. I am such a sucker for an awesome coffee mug!

– FOUR – Christmas in a pot! Give
your home a quick festive lift with some help from the fruit on the
counter, spices from the pantry and clippings from your tree.

I started wrapping Christmas presents this week and am loving the $1 Target wrapping paper I picked up and of course Laura’s Bow Tutorial {found here}!

I wish you all the merriest Christmas!

What fabulous gift wrap! And I LOVE your tenant gift. How persuasive :)Shearling Darling is my fave!! I've been adding a gold glittery statement nail to my mani with it this month. So pretty! Have a great Christmas and happy new year!! xo

Love the Christmas Bread idea for gifts – I am taking a mental note for the future!! The appetizer looks great & I always love something easy! The mug/polish is such a fun gift too 🙂 Have a wonderful Christmas!!

I love that wrapping paper from Target!! Our Target just opened and has no where near the amount of cool stuff you ladies in the states have at your stores! Christmas Tree appetizer, also genius, filing that one away for future use! Happy Weekend! 🙂

I picked up that Target wrapping paper too, its SO cute and you can't beat it for $1!! Love the big bows! I was wondering how you made that tree appetizer, I think I'll have to try it for my in-laws this weekend! Have a great weekend!

I love all the thoughtful details that you put into wrapping your bread; such a good way to spice up a treat! I also might take your tree appetizer now to the Christmas party tonight instead of making my original dish because your's sounds 100x easier 🙂

Thanks for co-hosting this lovely link up, Christina!! LOVE your Christmasy 5!! The bread sounds delicious and I love the way you fancied it up with cutesy packaging!! The tree appetizer is too cute too! I adore how your friend paired the essie polish with the gold monogrammed mug {what a sweet gift} … Thanks for sharing the "Christmas in a Pot" recipe! Look at all the present prettiness!!! Your post made my heart merry and light 😀 Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
